After requesting this book and starting it, I realised that to be able to get the full understanding of it I must read the previous two in the series. I purchased the other two and read them all in three days.

I must say this is one of the best historical series I have read in a good long while. The main character Lori is one of the strongest and resilient female characters I think I have ever read about. She doesn't seem to be able to catch a break and is wanted wherever they travel.

The three books contain so much of her and her troubles, her association with the men in these books and their love for her.

In this third book, even though much is about Lori, this one centres more around Boyd and Rebecca, Lori's husband's best friend and the widowed woman he has met and fallen instantly in love with.

Boyd must make a very hard decision and along with his brother Malcolm, they leave behind the women and make their way to Boyd's Uncle Jacob in Missouri.

They are fraught with so many setbacks and danger along the way you are left with the feeling that just maybe fate will not be kind and they may never meet their final destination.

Once you start this series, you feel compelled to read, as I did, all three books back to back. The writing is excellent and the characters are vividly portrayed. I loved every word and will surely be reading more books by Abbie Williams.

Many thanks to Netgalley and Central Avenue Publishing for the opportunity to read and give an honest review of this wonderful book.
